Rules for Sinfar Builders
Builder Avatar
To help keep the distinction between you as the player and you as the builder we ask that if you are testing areas within the module live that you create separate avatars for this task and that they should be named ‘Test - INSERT NAME HERE’. This way you can level/de-level and tweak said avatar without fear of reprisals from anyone, it also means that you can resurrect, self heal as you need to. Avatar are able to use extra chat command function as example.
DO NOT USE YOUR ROLEPLAY AVATARS FOR BUILD TESTING
Builder Wands
Your Builders wand is there for use with your Builder Avatar and all the functions available to it. It is NOT for use with your roleplay avatar unless there is a direct reason that you need to do so with regard to one of your areas. For example reloading them to fix a bug. Using your wand to help other players an those not involved in testing is strictly forbidden. This includes creating items, forge components, treasure, gold, giving or taking experience.
DO NOT USE THE WAND FOR THE BENEFIT OF ROLEPLAY AVATARS
Creating Custom Items
Please refer to the various help topics and links for specifics of creating items. However there is one golden rule for creating items on Sinfar:
NO ITEMS THAT ARE EQUAL TO OR MORE POWERFUL THAN WHAT THE FORGE PRODUCES ARE ALLOWED
You MAY add the following properties: Visual Effects, Light, Negative Properties, Weight Increases and altering standard bonuses to work with specific race or alignments. Exceptions: You may SCRIPT items to work as you want with the unique power property but the items must be restricted and useable ONLY in your own areas to avoid exploits.
Creating Custom Merchants
Please do not add high tier items into shops, these would be any about +3 Enahancement and +3 Armour. Bags of holding are not be added to merchant shops or any healing kits above +10. No items with bound spells above a caster level of 3. Uses should be limited to one per day or should have charges assigned to them.
IF IN DOUBT ABOUT ITEMS PLEASE ASK ONE OF THE ADMIN TEAM
